On July 26, the US League officially announced that Messi and Alba will be suspended in the game against Cincinnati this weekend because they are absent from the All-Star Game without approval.

Messi had previously missed the All-Star Game and no official reason was given at the time. However, Miami International head coach Mascherano said that Messi did not participate in the All-Star Game because of fatigue.

According to the regulations of the UEFA League, players who miss the All-Star Game without injury will be suspended for one game. In 2018, Ibrahimovic was suspended for missing the All-Star Game.

UEFA Chairman Don Garber said: "I know Messi loves this league. I don't think there is any player, even anyone, who has contributed more to the Major League. I fully understand, respect and admire his commitment to Miami International and his decision."

UEFA Executive Chairman Jorge Maas said: "Messi is very annoyed, and I hope this will not have a long-term impact. Will it affect his view of the league and its regulations? No doubt, will. Messi is very, very angry and frustrated, but now we need to unite and we have to fight the world side by side. Let's focus on the second half of this year and strive for excellent results."

UEFA Executive Director Jorge Maas said: "Why UEFA prioritizes business activities like the All-Star Game rather than its own league games. If like May Players like Xi are absent out of caution because they lack the rest they need to perform at the best in the league, and this makes him unable to participate in the next game. Then the league is further harming itself from a marketing perspective. "

reporter Franco Panizo posted a message saying: "Messi and Miami International know the consequences of not participating in the All-Star Game, but they still chose not to play, which forced the UEFA in a dilemma. They can't blame others for this consequence, they can only blame themselves."

team reporter Favian Renkel also said: "The UEFA has made the right decision. Cincinnati FC also has players selected for the All-Star Game and still send players to participate. Rules are rules. Yes, Messi did make the league's ratings soar, but he cannot surpass the rules of the league he plays in."
